I've had some trouble focusing lately. I have so much going on that my attention is too easily diverted. I wanted to write for the last few days but I couldn't figure out what I really wanted to write about. My mind was jumping from topic to topic to topic. Not a good read.
I sat down today, opened a word document and started to type words, not sentences, just words. This was the only way I could find a reoccurring theme to write about and it was funny what I came up with:
Focus
Or the lack there of -
Time is one of the biggest complaints I hear about a lot. Lack of time, time management issues, time goes too fast or too slow. No one is happy about the rate of things.
If we can not get focused then we loose time. It's something we can not get back once wasted.
Here are 5 tips for getting focused:
- Sit quietly for a couple of minutes and see where your mind takes you - go in that direction.
- Make a to-do list. Many times this will get me to prioritize.
- Read a book or magazine for half an hour. The FIRST thing you think of when you "return" is the first thing you do or give attention to.
- Call someone and tell them you are having trouble getting focused. Tell them to ask you questions. When they ask what kind of questions, say "any kind." This will get you thinking.
- Do what I did earlier - write words and see what the main theme is...that will help you go in a direction.
Wow! I was dreading this blog post today and it took me only 5 minutes to write it...now only half an hour to edit...lol
